Victor B.1A XH592 at Bruntingthorpe, 11th October 2008; author
Keeping XM715 company at Bruntingthorpe is the nose of XH592. XH592 served with 15 squadron, the Honington Wing, 232 OCU, TTF, 232 OCU again and then spent some time at St. Athan before being scrapped. The owner received the nose in rather poor state, but has been restoring it slowly to the generally good state it is now in. The underfloor area had suffered particularly badly from moisture and the attentions of various wildlife but the panelling down there has been replaced to stop any further infiltration. The cockpit interior (pictures on the cockpit pictures page) is generally good towards the front but restoration continues on the rear crew area.
